Despite facing significant personal challenges, including increasing deafness, Beethoven's artistic independence and resilience drove him to create some of the most enduring and influential music of all time. His works, ranging from symphonies to piano sonatas and chamber music, continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
